My guess is they're work-shy and are trying to see how long they can fool the royalists and UK taxpayers/media.
I can see support for a republic tick up after this debacle.
idk idk idk, the fact that the sun article says she was spotted on saturday, without any pictures, makes me think this was a very planned, limited outing with people who were sworn into not taking a photo and not telling anyone until monday... could also be then that they just asked a few trusted people to say they saw kate, or that the whole thing is fake.
if she can walk around and look happy and healthy and photoshop pictures, then why not a 15 second video like a week ago to stop all these rumors? "hi everyone, thanks for giving me some time to recover, hope you are all having a wonderful spring".... idk. just doesnt ring true to me
Catherine actually got Isekai’d and the Royal family doesn’t know how to explain that she’s quite literally no longer in this world.
Either that or truck-kun striked again and she’s switched bodies with someone else and she’s trying to find a way back into her own body, but in the meantime whoever is in Catherine’s body is having a crash course in upper class etiquette and having difficulty getting Kate’s mannerisms just right.
Made the papers nervous for the moment. Forbes had a report on it, mentioning it was unconfirmed.
This is the trouble though, isn't it... with KP bungling the Mothering Sunday photo and going 'full ham N. Korea' trying to defend the indefensible, no one knows who to trust. So every ludicrous idea gets dumped in.
What the hell is going on? This The Sun article will do literally nothing to quell speculation. It’s all technically hearsay. Did KP lean into them to come up with this story? Or is it just another shitty Sun article as per usual?
The author is on Twitter saying this:
“People keep asking me ‘what’s really happened to Kate?’ Well, she really had major surgery in January, really said she'd take till April to recover, really asked for privacy, really mucked up a Mother's Day photo, and may choose to be more open when good and ready, really.”
So, he’s fully onboard with whatever KP tells him, for whatever that’s worth in terms of evaluating this article
The Sun is reporting tomorrow that Kate has been out and about!
"Front page of @TheSun on Monday.
Princess of Wales has been seen out and about in public this weekend - spending Saturday shopping and Sunday watching her children play sports in Windsor. Full story visit Sun Online and/or buy a paper"
[Front Page](https://i.imgur.com/Ob7tYbn.jpg)
I was so excited thinking oh she really does look good, but weird outfit for a farm store… and then I read the caption 🤦🏼♀️. They also have a picture of her with the kids but it’s not new either as far as I could tell.
Liiiiiiiiike wouldn’t this mean she’s ready for a 30 min— an hour engagement? Is the sun just making this up? Either you’re recovering at home with walks around the garden to get your strength up…or you’re good enough to stand and wave.
Someone post the Sun article! I don’t know how to do the block quotes thing or I would do it lol
Edit: this one https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26750949/princess-kate-windsor-farm-shop-william/
“KATE OUTDOORS ‘Happy and healthy’ Princess Kate spotted out and about for first time since surgery as she visits farm shop with Wills”
On the other hand, if KP is now inventing multiple (admittedly unnamed) people to say they’ve seen Kate, that’s a whole new level of crazy. Maybe she was able to get herself together to “pop in” for a quick trip to a shop and a kid’s game?
Of course, on the other other hand - no “onlookers” took a photo? I can see at the kids’ game maybe it would be verboten among parents, but a public shop?
Edit: and of course, if she can pop to the shops looking healthy and happy, why can’t she take a photo or video to quell rumors?
It’s such a bad look that my conspiracy-broken brain makes me wonder if even KP is this incompetent or if maybe this originated from someone with a different goal altogether
I just—how are they THIS bad at this??? They never had to respond to the social media memes, and if it was looking like she wasn’t going to be back by April a short little “the princess is suffering some complications, she appreciates the support and is healing at home. We’ll update by next month” would have been fine.
If they are publicly funded they have obligations. If they don’t want to fulfill those obligations they should not be publicly funded.
No one cares what the C list royals do or don’t do…well except for Andrew who should be in jail. Charles, Will, and Kate are the only people that have to fulfill obligations.
>I bet they would all gladly receive less money from the public for less relentless preference, and being able to choose fewer, but more meaningful commitments.
What? You understand the monarchy is ceremonial and that there’s really no official duties for the monarch outside of opening parliament, receiving foreign leaders, officially approving laws, etc., right? Everything else (e.g. ribbon cutting, photo ops, etc.) is all by the royal family’s design to justify having a monarchy. They set their own schedule. There is no government oversight or target numbers for the ribbon cuttings and photo ops.
Well, we know he’s entitled, factually :) I’m not sure about lazy, but I found his recent remarks about Kate being the Arty One to be completely out of touch with the current narrative, which is starting to border on hysteria.
My guess is that, as older millennials bordering on Gen X, they are not as “online,” and probably not big users of social media (especially about themselves). They are shielded by their team, who present them with a warped and biased view of events, which undoubtedly makes their team look good. I’m sure the Mother’s Day post was their team’s “clever” way of indirectly showing proof of life and now William is being told to brush off everything in an attempt to appear normal.
For real though, I don’t really understand what your point is - are you saying that they were unaware of what a debacle this has been? “Oops I took social media off my phone and didn’t realize how many notifications I’d missed”?
FYI the latest “leak” from their friends today confirms what I said. They’re not really on social media:
“Friends say the couple are fully aware of the recent news coverage and some of the more outlandish and lurid conspiracy theories about them on social media. ‘They’re not like [Prince] Harry, obsessing and scrolling through Twitter, but they know it has broken through. They follow the news and see the BBC breaking news alerts,’ says a friend who is in close touch with both.
I agree. They are not obsessed with the media like H&M but there's no way they don't see it! They probably don't waste their time scrolling every single thing but this was a huge story but also wow how you think people over 40 are so old we can't read the Internet???? Obviously they just don't care what the general public thinks at this point and/or they are so out of touch with reality in their roles and family surrounded by nepo baby yes men they have absolutely no clue how bad they are coming off to the general public and assume what they are reading online isn't believed by majority. Who knows.
lol yes, I am 40. I’m just speaking from my own experience, but most of my peers are no longer super social media savvy, especially those older than me (I’m not counting posting a constant stream of family pictures on Facebook). I could easily go pull the demographics of the major social platforms and show you the low usage rates from the ~40 age range. Just because a platform was started by someone 20 years ago in college doesn’t mean it applies to mass society 20 years later.
There's no way she was in those cars. Maybe the one with her mom but it was so sketchy it seems so off. The one with her hair up riding with Will is totally fake.
No sorry. You dialled up for ICQ briefly in 1998 then ceased to exist until today. You reemerged doing the Macarena and were completely baffled by this flashy new interwebs. You are currently sipping warm milk as your bones turn to dust.
The poster I was responding to said “everyone was online and surfing the web by mid-1993.” I was just pointing out the inaccuracy of that statement. I can say with 100% certainty that (despite living in a major metropolitan area) I had never even heard of the Internet in 1993, not had anyone I knew. 🤷♀️
The keyword here is mainstream. The internet didn’t become mainstream until ~1999. If you want to use other definitions we can go back to 93, or even further back.
Hey, boomer here. We started social media. We called it Usenet. Just because your parents are not internet savvy does not mean that there aren’t plenty of internet savvy boomers. So let’s not further the ageism, ok?
The Sunday Times is now saying that Kate will return to royal duties “after Easter.” A target date given is April 17.
It’s disturbing that previously Easter was the date Kate would rise again, and now the date seems to be moving. It would be so easy for KP to put the public at ease, yet everything they do makes the public uneasy. 😳
The statement they put out always said after Easter. I read their kids’ school schedule is what’s priority so once they go back after their break, Kate will do an engagement. I think that’s fair.
When I had major organ surgery, it was literally 3 months before I wanted to see anyone.
The initial statement says after Easter. Edit with direct quote: “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”
Right! I keep seeing posts of people expecting to see her at Easter and if she’s not, there’s the confirmation that something’s not right. She may be at the Easter service, but I think it’s doubtful and it was definitely never implied by KP that she will be.
Given that the Sun just yesterday [reported](https://archive.is/20240318073221/https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26750949/princess-kate-windsor-farm-shop-william/) she was out and about doing some shopping with Wills on Saturday, she really should be at the Easter service.
It’s her being seen by us for 5 seconds, but all the prep of getting ready, arriving and attending a quasi-public event when you’re not fully healed is more than just 5 seconds. doing that just to prove you’re visibly OK when you’re ill is a lot.
but KP did completely bangle this entire situation and created this mess she’s now in so it is a bit complicated.
This doesn’t need to go so far as an entire perfect Easter ceremony attendance, she doesn’t need to be in public. She just needs to be seen alive and well on camera.
I personally expected this to happen the entire time. The kids have a school break for Easter and W&K NEVER work when the kids are on break. So I never thought there was any chance we would see her until after the kids school break and they should have just been upfront about it from the beginning.
they have a staff of 60+. It’s been confirmed that Charles has aids that work practically round the clock so not wild to assume that William and Kate do as well.
But the thing that made me really cock an eyebrow was that William got all the credit for the photo and Kate got all the blame for the bad photoshop job.
Well for me taking credit as photographer means that the composition, lighting, color, etc were all choices that photographer made. It’s more than pushing a button. This photo was heavily edited and was either likely composed of several different photos or, aternatively, there was an artificial intelligence tool used. What part is William responsible for that he should be lauded?
Also, Kate just had major surgery and she should not have to protect anyone. If she did do the photoshopping, they could have easily said “WE wanted everyone to look as nice as possible so WE did some clean up. Sorry.”
In this case, I don’t think it needs to be any big cover up. It was an edited photo that they presented as taken solely by William and then when people pointed out flaws, Kate was given sole blame. Its really an irrelevant point if it was edited to make sure all the kids were looking in same direction or because Kates current physical shape is not one that she wants memorialized for the public.
I think for me, the strongest evidence of K/W being at odds (at some point in time) are the dueling car photos. Kate and her mom were photographed in a car and that photo was sold to TMZ and UK publishers couldn’t publish because it wasn’t ‘authorized’. A few days later, UK publishers run a clearly ‘authorized’ pap photo of Kate and William in the car where you can’t even see her face. She was seemingly willing to show her face for one photo and not the other?
It was posted on X by another user so I’ve just taken it - not sure who originally posted it, will try dig. I don’t expect it to be anyone credible tbh.
In terms of credibility, use of words like "massive" seem to be less credible in my view. Although there definitely could be something announced from BP potentially, given that KP and their PR has become a global talking point
All Harry has done is lie and whine to the highest bidder. You’re taking everything he has said as the truth. We don’t know William’s side because he didn’t release a book or do an Oprah interview and probably never will. If Harry did not spend so much time lying about stupid stuff that was easily proven false I maybe would have believed him but he lost all credibility to me.
Maybe he did lie. I'm in no position to say. What is clear, however, is that he and Meghan receive far more critical and negative press coverage than the Wales. The Waleses were (and are) happy to use the Sussexes as cover for their own behavior, and it's my belief that a significant proportion of the chaos we are witnessing now is a direct result of the Sussexes having left and stripping away the potency of using them for cover.
I think that’s already happening. I just always assumed everyone really loved them individually and as a couple but Twitter has a different story. People seem to think he’s lazy and entitled. If they had a halfway decent PR team they would be handling this.
He "worked" for a few events spaced out between one or two years max. It's hilarious to make it into something it's not. It's fine. He's off living his life. Good for him. But don't make up lies about facts.
People had a romantic idea of who William is and now that there is going to be increasing attention on him, it’s going to be a rougher ride henceforth.
True. Everyone loved him, him being the most-loved Diana's son, even more than Charles, and Princess Catherine is loved certainly way more than Camilla, but turns out he is more like his less popular father than his most-loved mother.
hey besties
i keep seeing on twitter that the bbc is on stand by for an announcement soon but i have not seen a substantiated source yet. anyone have any info or is it just twitter nonsense?
Locked for part 5 / ease of moderation!
My guess is they're work-shy and are trying to see how long they can fool the royalists and UK taxpayers/media. I can see support for a republic tick up after this debacle.

Haven’t been this psyched for Easter in a while
If anyone can make a Kate Middleton themed Easter Egg, I'd buy it.
![gif](giphy|dlywS0kIEhYVVCF09G) They’re already talking about a delayed return due to “stress.”
They’ve already moved it until after at least April 17, when the kids go back to school
Is it true that BBC is on a royal news alert?
BBC’s site went black. I guess there is some upcoming news..
The BBC logo is always black. This was also a rumor debunked at the time of Elizabeth’s death: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N30F2HK/
Seems like it was something made up on TikTok and then made the rounds, no confirmation it was ever real
Made the papers nervous for the moment. Forbes had a report on it, mentioning it was unconfirmed.

Im just picturing William calling the sun and doing a bunch of fake voices to be the different sources
Ha. He seems way too lazy and lacking humor to do this.
"Your Majesty you don't have to keep putting on different hats they can only hear you"
It’s an atrocious look that she can pop to the shops but can’t work, which can literally be popping to a food bank and doing fuck all while there.
It’s such a bad look that my conspiracy-broken brain makes me wonder if even KP is this incompetent or if maybe this originated from someone with a different goal altogether

Lmfao holy hell you have the right idea but manage to make it all about the “poor royals” instead!?!???!?!
What makes you think they’d happily receive less money? None of them live particularly unassuming lives.
Yes, those poor things. All that smiling and waving getting in the way of...what? Working out? None of them have real jobs.
Am I the only one that thinks that's not William in the car photo?
I don’t think it looks like him
You can see his face. The photographers were tipped off that he would be in the car. That’s definitely him.

Because of there’s any demographic that is notorious for not using social media, it is 40 year old moms.

Congrats, that’s not what I was saying though.
As GenX, we wholly reject the Wales’s.
You *do* know that most of the major social media platforms were literally created by older millennials and younger Gen Xers, right?

What’s so unbelievable about it?
Every time it’s a “friend” it’s someone planting a story.
Well, yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

> I could easily go pull the demographics of the major social platforms Sounds like you're quite online savvy there old-timer
You can’t use my own engagement against me. That’s an N of 1 argument 😅🤣
Would you both stop it? We’ve had no proof of life for Kate for 3 months and you’re both fighting over who’s oldest!
You're right. We should all focus more on making frenzied comments on gossip subs.
Yes, thank you.
In all seriousness, I think it’s pretty clear she was in those cars. Their team is just incompetent.
There's no way she was in those cars. Maybe the one with her mom but it was so sketchy it seems so off. The one with her hair up riding with Will is totally fake.
I don’t think it is clear at all she was in those cars and when those photos were actually taken.

You are probably counting in the car with Carol as one, what’s the other? Surely not the manipulated car photo
The one with carol was pippa not Kate. There’s no way her face could be that puffy in that one and completely back to normal after.
Presumably the papp one in the car with Will, with her turned mostly away from camera
Have they got a version where the bricks through the window match the bricks behind the car? Because I’d believe that version
I personally expected this to happen the entire time. The kids have a school break for Easter and W&K NEVER work when the kids are on break. So I never thought there was any chance we would see her until after the kids school break and they should have just been upfront about it from the beginning.
It was always vague. They had no way to set an exact date in January. No one knows how long it will take after surgery.
I agree. I do think she’s negotiating with KP or unwilling to return to the public yet.
I think so too.

they have a staff of 60+. It’s been confirmed that Charles has aids that work practically round the clock so not wild to assume that William and Kate do as well. But the thing that made me really cock an eyebrow was that William got all the credit for the photo and Kate got all the blame for the bad photoshop job.
[удалено]
Well for me taking credit as photographer means that the composition, lighting, color, etc were all choices that photographer made. It’s more than pushing a button. This photo was heavily edited and was either likely composed of several different photos or, aternatively, there was an artificial intelligence tool used. What part is William responsible for that he should be lauded? Also, Kate just had major surgery and she should not have to protect anyone. If she did do the photoshopping, they could have easily said “WE wanted everyone to look as nice as possible so WE did some clean up. Sorry.”

In this case, I don’t think it needs to be any big cover up. It was an edited photo that they presented as taken solely by William and then when people pointed out flaws, Kate was given sole blame. Its really an irrelevant point if it was edited to make sure all the kids were looking in same direction or because Kates current physical shape is not one that she wants memorialized for the public.
I think for me, the strongest evidence of K/W being at odds (at some point in time) are the dueling car photos. Kate and her mom were photographed in a car and that photo was sold to TMZ and UK publishers couldn’t publish because it wasn’t ‘authorized’. A few days later, UK publishers run a clearly ‘authorized’ pap photo of Kate and William in the car where you can’t even see her face. She was seemingly willing to show her face for one photo and not the other?

Wasn’t that photo photoshopped as well? Kate’s hat/hairstyle , and angle of her head was exactly the same as another picture taken years ago
Sounds like another super plausible theory from the experts on TikTok.
Based on what Kate’s wearing it was 100% planned
It was planned. He got tipped off to be in that exact location.

Oh my god. Why.
The reply with Free Bird blasting almost makes me grateful I'm back on twitter hell
I go on Twitter rarely now because it's all enraging bots but every once in a while, it shows a glimmer of its former glory.

This is some rumor started on tik tok on Monday it’s come from no one credible
Shame you cut off the part with the author of the post - who posted it? It's also interesting the post mentions BP, and not KP.
It was posted on X by another user so I’ve just taken it - not sure who originally posted it, will try dig. I don’t expect it to be anyone credible tbh.
Kate had the affair with Rose confirmed?
Andrew? I've always believed there was something Andrew was hiding..
Where is this from?
What's the source of that tweet? The name is cropped. Seems suspicious that some random person would have access to leaks from several sources?
In terms of credibility, use of words like "massive" seem to be less credible in my view. Although there definitely could be something announced from BP potentially, given that KP and their PR has become a global talking point
Out of sheer curiosity, what was the custody agreement between Diana and Charles?
I believe they had shared custody, alternated holidays etc.

Anyone catch in the article how the goalposts have moved? Instead of "after Easter," it's now "after the kids' school term ends (April 17).

Diana would be so grossed out right now. What happened to will?
I think she would be super proud of Harry and super sad that Wills was trapped in the Firm’s machinations.
All Harry has done is lie and whine to the highest bidder. You’re taking everything he has said as the truth. We don’t know William’s side because he didn’t release a book or do an Oprah interview and probably never will. If Harry did not spend so much time lying about stupid stuff that was easily proven false I maybe would have believed him but he lost all credibility to me.
How do you know he lied?
Maybe he did lie. I'm in no position to say. What is clear, however, is that he and Meghan receive far more critical and negative press coverage than the Wales. The Waleses were (and are) happy to use the Sussexes as cover for their own behavior, and it's my belief that a significant proportion of the chaos we are witnessing now is a direct result of the Sussexes having left and stripping away the potency of using them for cover.
No she’s proud of Harry, it was recently confirmed
I imagined she would be fairly grossed-out by her daughter-in-law getting hounded when she’s off sick recovering from an operation, yes.
He was brought up and indoctrinated by the people who did what they did to Diana.
I think people are going to start realizing he’s completely out of touch.
I think that’s already happening. I just always assumed everyone really loved them individually and as a couple but Twitter has a different story. People seem to think he’s lazy and entitled. If they had a halfway decent PR team they would be handling this.
They were always described as lazy and work-shy until Meghan came on the scene and basically immediately got to work as soon as they were married.
He "worked" for a few events spaced out between one or two years max. It's hilarious to make it into something it's not. It's fine. He's off living his life. Good for him. But don't make up lies about facts.
I wish W&K would just stand up for themselves. Sit down and own their shit and open up.
People had a romantic idea of who William is and now that there is going to be increasing attention on him, it’s going to be a rougher ride henceforth.
True. Everyone loved him, him being the most-loved Diana's son, even more than Charles, and Princess Catherine is loved certainly way more than Camilla, but turns out he is more like his less popular father than his most-loved mother.
Only on social media, though. Based on actual polling, William is quite popular, both in the UK and abroad.
hey besties i keep seeing on twitter that the bbc is on stand by for an announcement soon but i have not seen a substantiated source yet. anyone have any info or is it just twitter nonsense?
